To oil Jwhom 'muy concern:

Be it known thatl, llsomnn vl'. Binnen, a citizen of thc United States, and a resident oi' Morgan Parli, in the county of Cook and Stato of illinois, rave invented certain new and useful llinmovements in ,filmographie- Register Stands for Type-Whiting Machines, of which the following is a clear, full.

without al'l'ecting the position otvthe typewriter at all. AThis l accomplish yoy the means hereinafter fully described, and as particularly pointed out in the claims.'

ln the drawings :wligure l is a front clevation of my invention. l "if x is a plan View thereof with the typewriter removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section through one` forni of the register supportii'ip` platform, and the adjacent broken away central port-ion of the stand. Fig. l is a detail view showing one of the adjusting` screws. Fig. 5- is a .vertical section through the preferred .term of the register platform.

My invention, as shown in the drawings, comprises a stand, the hase of which is, preferably, square, and has tour ji located at the corners, that rise nearly to the height, which itis desired 'the top ci the autographic register ll should he in, when the saine is in position to he written upon by thesuperposed hook-typewriter C. These legs a e, preferably, n tubular; have suitable casters tted in their lower ends,.and, in a horizontal plane slightly below where the hase o'j the autographic register should he in when 4in proper operative position, they' connected by tnbularcrossehars AK; 'whose ends are secured in stuos pro3ecting from sleeves o secured on said legs. D represents one form of a square platform or tray one edge 50A of which rests upon one of said cross-bars AJ, and is pivoted thereto oy means of suitable knuckles b made of sheet instal that Surround the same, substantially as shown in llifs. The opposite edge of this plattform,

.at about its-center of ength, is providedwith a. suitable sliding bolt n, which latter is secured to its under side and is adapted to be shot out hei/'ond said edge into a suitable niche in the upper surface of the adjacent cross-har, when it is desired to maint-ain t/hc platform in horizontal position. By this construction the platform can be swungl downward to facilitate the placing oit' the autographic register on or its removal from the same, whenever, 'for any reason, it is preferred to replace or remove the same in this manner. The upper ends of the legs have suitable bosses vsecured thereto thatk have correspondingl arms Z projecting from the saine, toward the longitudinal center of the stand. l/Vhile this form ot' platform (D) is practicable, l prefer that hereinafter fully described, and which is illustrated in of the drawings. llear their outer extreniities these arms are provided with vertical screw-threaded openings which are engaged hy vertical adjusting screws E the heads of which are on the lower ends there of, and which, -just above said arms are pron vided with ain-nuts E for locking them in any position to which they are adjusted. The upper ends ot these screws are made smooth, and enter suitable sockets e projecting` down from the underside of the forward ends of longitudinally disposed tracks F, F, upon which the traction or truck-wheels of the typewriter trav-el.. Ey loosening the jam-nuts E and properly turning the adjusting-screws, the tracks may he raised or lowered to obtain just the position the type writer should he ip to malte the 4best type impression on the top or plat-en of the autographic register, and, when the typewriting machine has been lifted ofiT said tracks, and 3 then said tracks can be raised ottd of the upper ends ot the adjusting screws to permit the removal ol the autographic register from or the replacing of said register on the platform D, and then said tracks can be re placed.

ln Fig. 5 of the drawings l show the pre-A ferred construction of the platform `or tray upon which the autographic register is placed. lnthe construction shown in lthe lli-st four figures orn the drawing, the register can be held in a. position upon the platform transverse to .the typewriting machine, or in a position longitudinal thereto by providing the platori'nwith holes D', D, for the rubher feet'oi" the registerto set in. `ln the platform or tray shown in Fig. 5, the tray 2 itselt is revolved, to turn the register ini-'f- Secured lo and pyojec'lng pai- :Lllel cracks ahw/'e said arms, adjusting scrawe @Xtemlu'lg vrtzcally up lou arms; and Suppmtng each @ml 02 Smc 13.
